Jim Nutt

James T. Nutt (born November 28, 1938) is an American artist who was a founding aficionado of the Chicago surrealist art commotion known as the Chicago Imagists, or the Hairy Who. Though his show is inspired by the same pop culture that inspired Pop Art, journalist Web Behrens says Nutt's "paintings, particularly his sophisticated works, are more competent than those of the more highly praised Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein." According to Museum of Contemporary Art curator Lynne Warren, Nutt is "the premier artist of his generation". Nutt attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, in Chicago, Illinois. He is married to fellow-artist and Hairy Who member Gladys Nilsson.
